Early in development the trophic properties of GABA ...Fri, 30 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100Altered excitatory-inhibitory balance in the NMDA-hypofunction model of schizophreniahttp://frontiersin.org/molecularneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.02/006.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Schizophrenia is a common psychiatric disorder of high incidence, affecting approximately 1% of the world population. The essential neurotransmitter pathology of schizophrenia remains poorly defined, despite huge advances over the past half-century i...Tue, 08 Apr 2008 10:39:00 +0100E-I balance and human diseases – from molecules to networkinghttp://frontiersin.org/molecularneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.02/002.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Information transfer in the brain requires a homeostatic control of neuronal excitability. Therefore, a functional balance between excitatory and inhibitory systems is established during development. This review contains recent information about the ...Fri, 28 Mar 2008 09:00:03 +0000Extrasynaptic and postsynaptic receptors in glycinergic and GABAergic neurotransmission: a division of labor?http://frontiersin.org/molecularneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.02/003.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Glycine and GABA mediate inhibitory neurotransmission in the spinal cord and central nervous system. The general concept of neurotransmission is now challenged by the contribution of both phasic activation of postsynaptic glycine and GABAA...Fri, 28 Mar 2008 09:00:03 +0000Excitation control: balancing PSD-95 function at the synapsehttp://frontiersin.org/molecularneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.02/004.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Excitability of individual neurons dictates the overall excitation in specifi c brain circuits. This process is thought to be regulated by molecules that regulate synapse number, morphology and strength. Neuronal excitation is also infl uenced by the...Fri, 28 Mar 2008 09:00:03 +0000Epilepsy, E/I balance and GABA<sub>A</sub> receptor plasticityhttp://frontiersin.org/molecularneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.02/005.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: GABAA receptors mediate most of the fast inhibitory transmission in the CNS. They form heteromeric complexes assembled from a large family of subunit genes. The existence of multiple GABAA receptor subtypes differing in subunit ...Fri, 28 Mar 2008 09:00:03 +0000A critical role for glycine transporters in hyperexcitability disordershttp://frontiersin.org/molecularneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.02/001.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Defects in mammalian glycinergic neurotransmission result in a complex motor disorder characterized by neonatal hypertonia and an exaggerated startle refl ex, known as hyperekplexia (OMIM 149400). This affects newborn children and is characterized by...Fri, 28 Mar 2008 00:00:00 +0000
